Reagan Flowers
Also running for Harris County Department of Education, Position 6, Precinct 1 is Reagan Flowers, who holds a PhD in Education Leadership from the Union Institute and University. She has been a science teacher, dean of students, and School Improvement Facilitator at different HISD campuses in her career, and today she runs an education support non-profit that she founded called CSTEM. Here’s what we talked about:
You can find a list of all interviews for this cycle, plus other related information, on my 2012 Harris County Primary Elections page. You can also follow this blog by liking its Facebook page.
Reagan Flowers sounds good in theory but in reality her vision is a non starter,she has a strong history and background in heavy-overtaxation of the voters-She will vote to tax high and heavy and will certainly invite goverment into your pockets for education programs that are outdated and over funded already,shes a nice ladie and everything, dont get me wrong on this point,its simply that her over taxing vision is improper for the harris county d of ed at this.
I will load the wagon and vote againt reagon flowers.

I beg to differ. I feel that we are in NEED of programs that will support future doctors, chemists, lawyers, engineers, teachers, etc. Government has and will always be in our pockets for frivolous reasons. I remain faithful that with the right person in office, funds will someday be appropriated for programs that actually work. Lets face it, our education system is POOR! We are in a new age and we need more awareness of the consequences that we may face if we turn our backs.
I differ also Barbara. I didn’t hear Dr. Flowers say anything about raising taxes. If fact I thought that I heard her say that the property taxes were a small percentage of the total HCDE budget and that she saw no reason to seek an increase. I will listen again to see if Dr. Flowers said anything that would indicate that she has an “over taxing” vision.
The only vision that I heard in the interview was one that is futuristic. A vision that would greatly increase HCDE students to more Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics disciplines which would move the district as a whole, forward.
